In November of the sixth year of Tianbao, the imperial court appointed it, and Lai Yao was dismissed from the position of the protector of the North Court and the camp festival, and was transferred to the capital of Chang'an for the elderly, but Cheng Qianli, who was the deputy envoy of the camp festival, failed to take over the post of the envoy of the camp festival, he was the close secretary of Fumeng Lingjing, of course it was impossible for the court to transfer Fumeng Lingjing to the capital and then appoint him as the leader of the North Court, his position did not change, and the court appointed Wang Zhengjian as the new Beiting capital protector and the camp section envoy.

On the sixth day of December, Wang Zheng saw Ren and convened the military envoys of the Beiting Army, the envoys of the guards, and the county orders of the counties, etc., and Zhao Ziliang immediately arranged for the matter of staying after receiving the official letter sent by Tingzhou, and quickly rushed to Tingzhou to meet Wang Zhengjian.

Wang Zheng saw that this person's name was not well known, at least Zhao Ziliang rarely heard about this person, this person had served as a soldier and horse envoy in Beiting before, and at that time it was still when Gai Jiayun was appointed as the envoy of the capital and the camp in the Beiting, and later Gai Jiayun was reappointed as the envoy of the Anxi Festival, this person was transferred to the capital to serve, he was relatively low-key, and he was not very in charge of things during his tenure in the capital, he belonged to the kind of good man, Zhao Ziliang met him a few times during his time in the capital, and he was introduced to him by Gai Jiayun, so it can be regarded as an acquaintance.

Wang Zheng saw this person, there was no military exploits, his capital was nothing more than qualifications, the qualifications that came out, plus this person was obedient and easy to command, Zhao Ziliang guessed that this was the reason why the imperial court appointed him as the protector of the northern court and the envoy of the camp.

On the tenth day of December, Zhao Ziliang saw Wang Zhengjian in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and he was sitting in the lobby of the Metropolitan Protectorate, with a long beard, a thin face, and a relatively thin body.

"I'll see you later!" The military envoys, the envoys of the guards, the county commanders, and the officials and generals of the Metropolitan Protectorate turned around to salute Wang Zhengjian.

Wang Zheng saw a smile on his face, raised his hand and said, "Everyone, don't be polite, look at the seats!" ”

The officials and generals thanked each other, and each found a place to sit down, and they all consciously sat in the corresponding position according to their positions and grades, but no one dared to sit in the first position of the generals, just because the generals were very conscious that Zhao Ziliang was the first person among the generals in the scene, and even Cheng Qianli thought about it, and consciously felt that he was not as good as Zhao Ziliang, so he still didn't want to be bored, and chose to sit in the second position.

Wang Zheng saw that no one was sitting at the head of the military general column on the right, so he looked at Cheng Qianli curiously and asked, "General Cheng, why are you sitting there?" Come and sit down! ”

Cheng Qianli's face turned red and said, "Dashuai, the last general has self-knowledge, so it's better to sit here!" ”

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You are the deputy capital protector, and you are also the deputy envoy of the camp festival, this official heard that some time ago, you led the army to break the Great Food Army, so that all parts of the Western Regions were bathed in the heavenly power of my Tang Dynasty, if you are not qualified to sit in this position, who else is qualified to do this?" ”

At this time, I don't know who said a sentence below: "Dashuai, it wasn't General Cheng who led the troops to break the Great Food Army last time, he was just a supervising army!" ”

It wasn't who said this, just because there were twenty or thirty people in the lobby, and it was impossible to tell who it was, but as soon as these words came out, there was a sudden uproar in the hall, and the muscles on Cheng Qianli's face couldn't help shaking.

Wang Zhengjian was a little surprised: "No, what this official heard is that General Cheng led the troops, if it wasn't him who led the troops, then who led the troops?" ”

Another voice said: "It's the Xilin Guard, General Zhao Ziliang!" What the marshal heard was obviously that someone deliberately concealed the credit of General Zhao in the good news sent to the imperial court, and took the credit and aura of the Great Breaking Great Food Army on himself! ”

Although it was not clear who did this, how could Cheng Qianli not hear that the person who said this was referring to himself? His gaze swept quickly, but he could not find anyone who spoke, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

After that great victory, the good news of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate was written and reported in the name of Lai Yao, at that time Lai Yao couldn't take care of himself, and his mind was not very clear, and now Lai Yao was transferred to the capital for retirement, Wang Zhengjian knew that if he pursued this matter, it would be a little inauthentic, after all, Lai Yao was a patient who was not very sober-minded, and he was also his predecessor, this matter could not be pursued anyway, so it had to be stopped.

Wang Zhengjian looked at Cheng Qianli again, there are only a few people who have the ability to do tricks in the good news in the entire Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, but I am afraid that Cheng Qianli is the only one who really dares to do this, and he has inquired before he came to take office, Cheng Qianli is a little small-bellied, jealous and jealous, it is not strange for this person to do this kind of thing.

Wang Zhengjian's eyes when he looked at Cheng Qianli began to look a little strange, but he remained silent, his eyes turned to Zhao Ziliang, who was sitting near the entrance of the lobby, and said with a smile: "General Zhao, I didn't expect that the leading general who broke the big cannibal last time turned out to be you, but with your talent, this is not surprising!" The wording of the good news from the Imperial Protectorate to the Imperial Court may be a little unclear, so it was misunderstood by His Majesty and the Imperial Court, but this matter is okay, since the official knows about this matter, he will definitely make some compensation to the general! General, please sit here! ”

Zhao Ziliang got up and arched his hand: "Thank you for your love, but even if Zhao has some slight skills, he is just a small guard, how can he be qualified to sit in the position of the first military general in Beiting?" The handsome man tormented me! ”

Wang Zhengjian saw Zhao Ziliang's resolute expression, so he was no longer reluctant, after all, letting Zhao Ziliang sit in the position of the first military general is a bit incorrect and unreasonable, and it will also bring unnecessary trouble to Zhao Ziliang, so he said: "Since General Cheng and General Zhao are unwilling to sit, then this position is temporarily vacant." Now we are here to discuss the matter, the official wants to listen to each of you to talk about the details of the situation in your own jurisdiction, one by one, don't worry, the official has already asked people to prepare lunch, I can't finish it in the morning, and I will continue to talk in the afternoon after lunch! ”

Next, the officials and generals below stood up one by one and explained to Wang Zhengjian in detail the topography of the mountains and rivers in their jurisdiction, climate change, population, cultivated land, resource distribution, tax revenue, annual agricultural harvest and animal husbandry, the number of troops stationed in the garrison, and the equipment situation.

Zhao Ziliang has been here in Beiting for almost a year, and he only knows the general situation of some other places in Beiting, and he has never known so much detail, but not all of what these people report is the truth, and it is estimated that there should be some water.

This military discussion was held for a whole day, and Wang Zhengjian also had a certain understanding of these subordinates, and also had some understanding of the current situation in Beiting.

Generally speaking, the situation in Beiting is still good, although it is far away from the Central Plains, it has vast fertile land and grasslands, and some mineral resources, and the garrison can be self-sufficient without the need for military supplies and grain and grass from the imperial court! All armies, garrisons, cities, towns, garrisons, forts, and posts can solve the grain problem by their own reclamation; Some towns can also weave their own cloth to make military uniforms and armor, but most of the local garrisons still rely on the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to allocate armor, military uniforms, shoes and socks; As for weapons and bows and arrows, some military towns can solve a small part of it by themselves, while some military towns completely need to be allocated by the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

After saying what was to be said at the military meeting, Wang Zhengjian said to Zhao Ziliang: "General Zhao, you have made outstanding achievements in battle, but you are only a small envoy, but you are too condescending. ”

Zhao Ziliang hugged his fists and said: "The handsome man raises love, and the general will be grateful!" However, the saint and the court did not know the merits of the last general, and if the marshal did not have enough reasons, how could he let the court make an order? But if the marshal tells the truth to the court, won't there be more trouble? ”

Wang Zhengjian also felt that what Zhao Ziliang said was reasonable, but since he knew the truth of the matter, if he didn't do something, wouldn't it make the soldiers under his command feel cold? Now the imperial court is in an eventful time, and it is the time when the border soldiers need to use their lives. The generals of the older generation in the army are dying, and they are too old to walk; The most talented and prestigious Gai Jiayun of the middle-aged generation is retired at home due to sin, Huangfu Weiming was killed, Wang Zhonghei was also demoted, whether he can recover is still unknown, Fumeng Lingjing was transferred to the capital to relax, but the younger generation has not fully grown up, and only Zhao Ziliang can be compared with Gai Jiayun, Huangfu Weiming, Wang Zhongsi and others, but he has been framed repeatedly, I heard that Ge Shuhan and An Sishun are quite brave, but these two are Zhao Ziliang's students, and only one Gao Xianzhi has temporarily emerged, but I heard that this person is quite greedy for money, In terms of conduct, it is not very good.

In addition to the above reasons, Wang Zhengjian wanted to promote Zhao Ziliang, but also because he had just come to Beiting and did not have his own cronies, so it was inconvenient to act, most of the officials and generals in Beiting were old departments left by Gai Jiayun and Lai Yao, and these people had a good relationship with Zhao Ziliang, and when Zhao Ziliang was raised, he could command these officials and generals; In addition, he also heard that the tribes of the ten surnames of the Western Turks, the Chuyue Division, the Chumi Division, and the Qarluq tribe often disturb trouble in the border area, and they often attack each other, which brings great instability to all parts of the Beiting Courtyard, it is said that Zhao Ziliang is quite prestigious in this area, and these tribes are also afraid of him, and having Zhao Ziliang sitting here can also make this place more stable, and the promotion of Zhao Ziliang's official position is beneficial to both him Wang Zhengjian and the people under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. Also, before he came to take office from Chang'an, Gai Jiayun had specially looked for him and asked him to handle the relationship with Zhao Ziliang, and promote and take care of Zhao Ziliang, so no matter what aspect he had, he wanted to bring Zhao Ziliang up.
